Background: Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a naturally occurring antioxidant that has been suggested to have beneficial effects on lipid profiles and blood pressure. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to evaluate the effects of CoQ10 supplementation on these parameters in patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D).
Objective: To assess the impact of CoQ10 supplementation on lipid profiles and blood pressure in individuals diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes.
Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted in databases such as PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Scopus for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published up to July 2024. Studies included were those that examined the effects of CoQ10 supplementation on lipid profiles (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides) and blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) in T2D patients.
Results: 16 studies were included. CoQ10supplementation reduced SBP (WMD: -3.86 mmHg, 95% CI: -6.01 to -1.71, P = 0.014, I = 83.7%; P < 0.001) and DBP (WMD: -2.70 mmHg, 95% CI: -4.50 to -0.91, P = 0.024, I = 92.1%; P < 0.001), but did not change lipid profile. Additionally, subgroup analysis indicated that the effects of CoQ10 on lipid profiles levels were more pronounced in studies where the daily dosage of CoQ10 was 100 mg or less, and the duration of the study was under 12 weeks.
Conclusions: Coenzyme Q10 supplementation appears to have a beneficial effect on lipid profiles and may contribute to lowering blood pressure in patients with Type 2 Diabetes. These findings suggest that CoQ10 could be a valuable adjunctive therapy for managing cardiovascular risk in this population. Additional in-depth research is needed to validate these findings and understand the underlying mechanisms in more detail.

Background: Traditional studies of protein responses to external stimuli primarily focus on changes in protein abundance, often overlooking the critical role of protein conformational alterations. To address this gap, we developed Protein Abundance and Conformation Analysis (PACA), an integrative method that quantifies both protein abundance and conformational changes. PACA combines conventional quantitative proteomics for abundance measurements with Target Response Accessibility Profiling (TRAP), a technique that captures conformational changes in situ by applying reductive dimethylation to label accessible lysine residues in living cells before lysis.

Background: GPR171 suppresses T cell immune responses involved in antitumour immunity, while its role in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) pathogenesis remains unclear.
Objective: We aimed to investigate the role of GPR171 in modulating CD4 T cell effector functions in IBD and evaluate its therapeutic potential.
Design: We analysed GPR171 expression in colon biopsies and peripheral blood samples from patients with IBD and assessed the impact of GPR171 on CD4 T cell differentiation through administration of its endogenous ligand (BigLEN).

Acetyl-CoA Synthetase Short Chain Family Member-1 (ACSS1) catalyzes the ligation of acetate and coenzyme A to generate acetyl-CoA in the mitochondria to produce ATP through the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. We recently generated an ACSS1-acetylation (Ac) mimic knock-in mouse, where lysine 635 was mutated to glutamine (K635Q), which structurally and biochemically mimics an acetylated lysine. ACSS1 enzymatic activity is regulated, at least in part, through the acetylation of lysine 635 in mice (lysine 642 in humans), a Sirtuin 3 deacetylation target.

Weddell seal (Leptonychotes weddellii) females lose substantial body mass across an intensive, nutritionally restricted lactation period and then must rapidly recover mass during the short Antarctic summer. In this study, we examined endocrine dynamics associated with mass loss across lactation and subsequent realimentation in Weddell seals, comparing patterns between seals that recently gave birth and demographically similar non-reproductive females (skip females) in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. Postpartum seals near weaning (∼35 days postpartum, n = 64) and skip females (n = 32) were handled during early austral summer (November/December) and rehandled in late summer (January/February).
